SHE MAKES ME (Stormtropper in Stilettoes)
[Brian May/Queen. from the albumn _Sheer Heart Attack_.]
I find that the secret to this tune is getting the D A
changes for the verses and intro right. Very difficult to write
out for someone who knows zip about rhythm theory; this is an
approximation, not a subsitute for learning by listening. The D
is strummed with fairly fast up-and-down strokes; the A is
basically just downstrokes. When the verse switches chords, play
the C in the rhythm as the A, the G like the D. Clear as mud?:-)
The D** in the chorus includes a run on the B string.
Starting from the D chord: 3, 2, 0, 0/2/3, with the last three
in quick succession. Other chords: Dm7 = xx0211, C#7 = x4342x.
As the words are simple, they really need to be sung in the
right spirit - something between sombre and tortuous (?!).
